S.A.M.D. is a non-profit regional organization of Samoyed owners and breeders associated with the Samoyed Club of America (SCA). S.A.M.D. is the only Samoyed breed club in Michigan, and includes members from surrounding states and Canada. |  |
Our objectives are to encourage and promote quality in the breeding of purebred Samoyeds; to urge members and breeders to accept the standard of the breed as approved by the American Kennel Club; to advance the interests of the breed by encouraging sportsmanlike competition at dog shows, obedience trials and sledding races, and other activities such as herding, tracking, agility, flyball, back-packing, and therapy work; to encourage and cooperate with individuals and other groups with similar purposes; to do all possible to help place Samoyeds in need of new homes; and to educate new and potential Samoyed owners as to the proper care and upkeep of their dogs.
